As to the server at Rackspace, no there has been no new hardware added to
the box, it just started doing that several weeks ago.  Supposedly, they
replaced the RAM yesterday, and were going to ghost/replace the second HD
in the box, and IDE, which they said was REALLY generating a lot of heat. 
They were going to do that between 2 and 4 AM this morning, I'm waiting for
Scott (IT NY) to let me know what's going on today.

I think the SCSI controller is a MegaRaid, two 37gig HD's in a mirror, 4
Gig used for C, the balance for D, drive E is an IDE for scratch backups,
at least that's how it looks when I TS onto the box and look around.  The
other day, the D drive, has about 1 gig of space left, as there were 9 gig
of Log files from IIS on that drive.  I moved 7 of them off to the spare
drive. The website is pretty active, so the one log file, had daily logs
running in the 50-100meg size.
